Central heating radiators
​
For the greatest heat output consider a triple radiator, which uses a combination of three panels and three convectors ( I used double convector). Great for larger spaces, they're also ideal if you are extending a room and don't want to install additional radiators. There is several different styles of them out in the market, here below is a link for the one I installed.
​
The main difference between Type 11, Type 21 and Type 22 radiators is the layers of fins, also known as the number of convectors. Type 11 is a single panel convector, Type 21 is a double panel single convector and Type 22 is a double panel double convector.

Calculating the BTU for your room
Depends on a number of different factors, like the type of windows you have and where you intend on placing the radiator, to what is above and below the room and more
If you are calculating by yourself you need to: Calculate the cubic volume of your room in feet or meters. This is calculated by multiplying the height, width and length of your room. After that, multiply the figure by the following values for a rough estimate of your suggested BTU.
